Tonsils/flu

On Wednesday, February 19th Chase had his tonsils and adenoids out and another set of tubes put in his ears.  We had put it off as long as we could and we just wanted him to feel better.  He did great that day.  I was worried but he played his tablet or DS with Shannon while we waited.  Walked right back and only started having a fit when I was to lay him on the table for them to put the mask on.  At that point he started fighting hard and actually pulled the tube out of the mask.  But they were pros at it and had him out in no time.  He woke up well and we were headed home by early afternoon.  I knew from Callie that the very beginning was easier than later on.  He had a hard time sleeping and thru up the medicine in the night - ouch.  I stayed home with him the second day and he was pretty good.  I was going to go back to work on Friday while John and Linda watched him but he got upset early morning and thru up his medicine again.  He REALLY wanted me so I stayed home again.  He did go to their house in the afternoon for awhile and I caught a nap:-)  Then we had the weekend and the next week John and Linda were watching him.  He was doing fine but nights were definitely the hardest for him - he would wake up and get so upset.  Shannon had had the stomach flu the Sunday night before Chase had his tonsils out.  I got it the next Sunday night.  It was awful - no break it hurt all the time.  I did not sleep all night.  I was so worried Chase would get it then.  Monday Callie went to school, Shannon to work, Cole to the babysitters, and Chase with John.  I was so sick and even by evening still feeling awful but no longer getting sick.  The kids went to John and Linda's for the evening.  I finally took my temp and it was 101.8 - no wonder I was feeling so bad.  Ran that all night.  Got up Tuesday morning and with tylenol in my I was OK for a couple hours.  Callie was running a fever so she stayed home with me.  Never got sick though and was fine the next day.  So back to Tuesday morning as John was picking up Chase, Cole's babysitter text that her daughter had been up all night getting sick.  So Cole went with John and Chase as I didn't want to risk exposure to another strand!  I went back to work on Wednesday after being gone a week between tonsils and flu.  No one else got sick thank goodness.  That Thursday a little over a week out was by far Chase's roughest time - he cried so much that evening.  But Friday was a little better and Saturday a lot better.  We went to eat at the mall on Saturday and then Chase went with Callie and I to see the new Lego movie.  He sat on my lap most of the time but at least he was out and on the mend.  Thankfully we had our last snow day of the year on the following Monday, March 3rd so he got another recovery day home.  He went back to Christy's on Tuesday and then preschool on Wednesday.
